MILKING-PAIL.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 10, 1909.

Application filed March 9, 1908. Serial No. 419,909.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRED H. BEAoH,Jr., a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of NewYork, have invented a new and Improved Milking-Fail, of which thefollowing is a specication. K Y

rIhis invention relates to that class of pails adapted to use formilking purposes and has for its object the production of a pail adaptedto more perfectly exclude dirt and germs when in use.

My invention comprises ay milk pail, the side walls and the bottom ofwhich may be of substantially the usual pattern, while the top or canopysection iscurved so as to extend tangentially into the side walls. Inthis top or canopy section I provide a single opening and spout adaptedto use both for milking and pouring and the side walls of the spout areso conformed as to prevent bodies falling in lines parallel to the axisof the pail from entering the pail through the opening in such spout.While the side walls of such a spout may be formed up separately andsuitably secured to the top or canopy section, still, I prefer to formsuch canopy section and spout integrally. Y

The accompanying drawings illustrating a milk pail in accordance with myinvention are as follows z-Figure l is a top view of my milk pail, Fig.2 is a vertical sectional view of the upper part thereof. Figs. 3 ande:Vare side views of the pail with the spout opening turned respectively,toward the observer and to the left. Figs. 5, 6, 7 and 8 .are viewssimilar to Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively, of that modification of mypail inwliich the spout is formed integrally with the top or canopysection.

Referring to the drawings-F is the side wall of the pail which may beseamed, as seen at p, having the handle h on the side thereof oppositethe spout. The side walls terminate'at the lower end in the usualreinforcing rim t.

Refer to Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4,-A top or canopy section D is secured tothe upper edge of the side walls and is so conformed, as seen, as toextend tangentially into the side walls of the pail. This top or canopysection D is flattened near its center, as seen at d1, to receive theears e which are suitably riveted thereto and between which extends thebody portion E of the handle,which I prefer to make use of V is thespout inclosing the single opening in the pail which is used both formilking and in pouring out the contents of the pail. The outer edge ofthis spout V is formed up into a rim o containing the usual reinforcingwire. The lower and horizontal portion of this spout V is preferablyformed from the turned over edge of a part of the side wall of the pailP.

Refer to Figs. 5, 6, 7 and 8,--In that form of my milk pail showntherein, the canopy section D1 extends integrally into the spout V1, theouter edge of which is rolled up into a bead v1 also reinforced, asindicated.

I desire to call attention to the fact that in using a milk pailconstructed in accordance with my present invention the inwardly andrearwardly curved outer edge of the side walls of the spout V or V1affords ample space for the hands of a person milking the cow in such away as to direct the milk into the pail through the opening in thespout, and also, to the fact that in a milk pail constructed as shownthe entire interior surface of the pail is visible through the openingin the spout and while this is the case the construction of the outeredge of the side walls of the spout is such that bodies falling in linesparallel with the axis of the pail cannot enter the pail through theopening in the spout.

I may state that as the result of tests in the use of a milk pailconstructed in accordance with my present invention as compared with amilk pail of the usual style, the bacterial cultures have been reducedfrom eight million per cubic centimeter for the common pail when usedwith an ungroomed cow to sixty-three thousand per cubic centimeter whena pail constructed in accordance with my invention was used under thesame conditions, and as the result of similar tests in the case of a cowthat had been brushed and washed from three hundred and sixty thousandbacterial cultures per cubic centimeter for the common pail to nineteenthousand when a pail constructed in accordance with my invention wasused under the same conditions.

It is believed that from the foregoing description the construction,method of using and operation of my milking pail is sufficiently clearto call for no further explanation herein.

What I claim is 1. In a milk pail, in combination with the bottom andside walls thereof, a top or canopy section extending uninterruptedlyaround and joined to the side walls of the pail, suoli top or canopysection conformed to extend substantially tangentially into the sideWalls and a combined milking opening and pouring` spout iii such top orcanopy section and near the oint between the same and the side walls ofthe pail, such spout having its outer edge conformed to prevent theentrance to the pail of bodies moving in lines parallel with the axis ofthe pail.

2. ln a milk pail, in combination with the bottom and side Wallsthereof, a top or canopy section extending around and joined to tlieside walls of the pail, sucli top or canopy section conformed to extendsubstantially tangentially into the side walls and a combined milkingopening and pouring spout in sucli top or canopy and near the jointbetween tlie saine and the side walls of the pail, suoli spout having'its outer edge conformed to prevent the entrance to the pail of bodiesfalling in lines parallel with the axis of the pail.

3. ln a milk pail, in combination with the bottom and side wallsthereof, a top or canopy section extending uninterruptedly around andjoined to the side Vwalls of the paii, sucli top or canopy sectionconformed to extend substantially tangentially into the side walls and acombined milking opening and pouringI spout in such top or canopy andnear the joint between the saine and the side walls of the pail, suchspout having its outer edge conformed to prevent the entrance to thepail of bodies moving in lines parallel with the axis of tlie pail, tlieentire inner surface of the pail visible through the opening in suchspout.
